Heatwave worsens across north India, claims 2 lives [1]

Gruelling heat tightened its grip over most parts of North India on Monday killing two persons in Rajasthan as the mercury rose further at many places in the region with Sriganganagar in the desert state being the hottest at 48.7 degrees.

Both the casualties, that of a rag picker and a sweeper, occurred in Jaipur which sizzled at 45 degree C, six degrees above normal.
